Description
The parameter of the constructor p is the failure fraction, and zero is NOT included in the set of trials. These are opposite the description in the documentation at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/libs/math/doc/html/math_toolkit/dist_ref/dists/geometric_dist.html
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
As far as I can tell, the description is accurate, both for Boost.Math and Boost.Random.
